  LM35 Again
 
Hi, I have been trying again to connect the LM35 temp. sensor (10mV/C) to one of the general-purpose Analog inputs (No pull-up), and I have no success, the result was the following: the analog( ) was 121, the equivalent aprox. to 250 C, obviously (...)

  Re: IC motion control
 
It turned out my motors was drawing too much current and thus kept resetting my board. After using a separate motor supply, everything work fine. Thanks. (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: HB for science project?
 
I forget the web page, but I did find a JAVA compiler for the HB online! It looks great! I havent had a chance to experiment with it yet, but it uses much less memory then IC and appears to be very powerful, might want to look for that. (...)

  Re: HB for science project?
 
(...) I'm afraid that I'm not qualified to recommend any PICs, but I do know about programming. Basic can be used to implement fairly complex algorithms, but it's not easy to use it for the really tricky data structures, and it would be almost (...)

  Using 2 polaroid ultra sonic modules simultaneously...
 
How would you use two ranging modules on the the same HB simult.? There are two different ways on the HB web site but they both use TIC3 at Dig. Input 7. How else would I be able to implement this? Any help would be greatly appreciated... -- --Peter (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  HB for science project?
 
Hello, Recently, I have been thinking about using a HandyBoard for my science project in High School. My project will involve the writing of algorithms, and I was planning on programming in C. I have been using the Basic Stamp II (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: I have a Chalanging question!
 
(...) This is a classic application for what is called an Instrumentation Amplifier. An IA functions just like an ordinary Op-Amp, however it typically offers close-to-rail-to-rail outputs and at least a very high input impedance. One would then use (...)

  Re: IC motion control
 
It sounds like your motors could be drawing too much current, and re-setting the board perhaps.

  I have a Chalanging question!
 
ok I have to read a signal with almost no curent in the mv range and have it so a computer like the hb can detect it. now I dont mean just yes or no. I mean to watch the waves in the mv level and the circut cant distort it. couse dont amps just (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  equivalent darlington pair
 
Hi all, I have problem in getting NPN darlington ZTX614 in market.Suggest me some other Darlington pair with the equivalent characteristics of the above. Please give me the full details and kindly donot give any mailorder site's address. Jabbar (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: IC motion control
 
your motor probably draws too much current to work with the HB. unplug the motor and see if things work. if so, the problem is your motor. see the FAQ more for on how to choose a motor that works with the HB. fred In your message you said: (...)

  tiny gears
 
I'm looking for a very small set of gears. For example, I need a worm with a 0.025" diameter bore and another with a 0.040" diameter bore. Both of these could be as long as 3/8". The size of the worm gears doesn't matter too much, although I'd like (...) (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  IC motion control
 
I am having problems with programming the handyboard using Interactive C 3.2. When I used the function fd(n) to test for continuous motor rotation, the board would crashed or it would only spin for a fraction of a second. Also, even when I put it in (...)
